How do we deal with loss?
The church was losing a pastor, a friend, a father
Some people would never see Paul again
Jason Helmbacher
The Lord was in control.
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
How do we commit to following Christ no matter the cost?
Resolving to give our lives for the mission of Christ no matter the cost
Peter’s Denials
Three times Peter was asked and three times he denied
Paul’s perseverance
Three times Paul was warned yet he kept on
He was not worried about being bound by the Jews because he was already bound to the Spirit
We as Christians are bound to Christ.
It is no longer us who lives but Christ who lives through us
Our lives are not our own, we have been bought at a price
Paul running his race with his eyes set on eternity
the shortness of life
the meaning in life
finding meaning in the weight of glory
“The Lord’s will be done.”
You can choose today to take a stand for Christ.
Sometimes in the moment it is hard to make the decision.
“What will I do when my faith in Christ is challenged?
When my back is against the wall how will I respond?”
Let us respond with, “not my will, but the Lord’s be done!”
James and the elders presented a solution for Paul to get him out of the circumstance he had come to find himself in.
The Jews were hostile towards Paul and the message of the Gospel.
Rumors had spread about Paul claiming that he was teaching the Jewish believers to abandon the teachings of Moses.
They thought that by sending Paul to the temple to perform one of the rituals of cleansing that he would be free of suspicion and danger.
Despite the efforts, Paul was bound by the Jews in Jerusalem.
This fulfilled what the Spirit spoke through Agabus.
Paul would be bound.
No human scheme can change what the Lord has declared.
The hospitality of the faith vs. the hostility of the Jews
What is hospitality?
(Kind attention to; refresh self; place of entertainment/lodging)
Look at how the early church operates.
The camaraderie and fellowship in the early church in these pristine days is wonderful to observe.
The hospitality, concern and interest that they had for one another is something that, for the most part, we in our age have not experienced.
It might be well in counseling to stress these things, looking forward to the time when we might come to know these warm traits again, and urging counselees to become part of that revival.
While there is always more excitement at the inception of something, that is no reason not to expect at least some approximation of the Christian concern that we have seen here.
What happened once can happen again.
What would it look like to live in hospitably today?
House those in need, to serve others, to care for, to pay kind attention to one another
How does hospitality effect our relationships?
What is hostility?
(to be an enemy/hatred)
The Jews showed hostility to Paul and the Gospel message.
How has hostility shown up in your relationships?
How does hostility effect how you see others?
